    Ali, I like to thank you again. I hope you remember me and my son (we were at your Workshop last week). It was fun and one of the best experiences we had in Istanbul. Full 5 Star recommendation!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    I had a lot of fun on this workshop! Bayza, Esma and the team were so lovely to chat to and really helpful. I was met on the European side and taken to the workshop (easy journey, one tram stop), which was a kind gesture. Drinks (Turkish tea and coffee) were unlimited and we were also served some savoury biscuits. The instructions were clear, and came with some history, which was a nice touch! A great way to immerse yourself in cultural exchange and meet new people :)

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    It is a such a nice way to experience the Turkish culture from within. The hosts of the activity were very helpful in every step of the process and provided lovely conversations along with a cup of Turkish tea or coffee. We chose an option to meet up on the European side before the workshop and the host brought us to the Asian side through metro (just 1 stop). It was very easy to get there and I would suggest this workshop to anyone willing to have a fun time for a great value.

    Everything was excellent! I came with my boyfriend and we both enjoyed it so very much! The team was awesome, we got tea, coffee, water and snacks. The workshop was such a great experience and the lamps are to be a great (if not the best) souvenirs from here. 110% recommended. If we come back to Istanbul, we surely will book another workshop from Fabrikafa Make & Coffee 🩷

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Grande esperienza: accoglienza amichevole, maestro preparato e attento, attività particolarissima con tanti materiali a disposizione, tè, caffè e biscotti; veramente ben organizzato, ma soprattutto mi ha colpito l'ambiente giovane e accogliente, dove tavolate di ospiti si dedicavano all'una o all'altra attività tradizionale sotto la guida di maestri esperti e sorridenti E in più, la bottiglia di profumo realizzato da me da portare a casa... Complimenti! <3 Serena F.
